PHPStorm does not start search in background

Sorry to ask about this here, but I've searched for a while without any results. Can anyone tell me how by clicking Background in the PHPStorm search box I can restore it to run regularly? kind of drives me crazy here: /

To see background tasks (and be able to cancel them) check this official manual page .



To prevent the search function from running in the background, follow these steps:

  • Close IDE completely

  • Find the ide.general.xml

    file and open it in any text editor. For Windows 7 and PhpStorm v8 it will be C:\Users\USERNAME\.WebIde80\config\options\ide.general.xml

    . For other OS, check this document .

  • Look for text searchInBackground

    . eg<option name="searchInBackground" ...

  • Either remove that node completely, or change value

    to false

    instead true

    .

  • Save the changes you made to this file and start the IDE.
